Michael Rides his bike!

I've been helping Michael ride his bike without training wheels for a year or so.  I as hoping he'd get it last year in time for our August camping trip.  But, no luck.  Then, early this year we bought him a 50cc Honda motorcycle.  This was an opportunistic buy, as a friend was moving to Germany and offered it for sale. 

Michael wanted to ride it.... Aha... Motivation!  So, I got him riding his Razor scooter around to practice his balance.  Then we'd try the bike with me helping him balance.  A couple weeks ago, he managed to ride 40 feet or so a few times in a row.

Then yesterday, we went out to try again.  He did it!  Check out the video:


Of course, the first thing he asked after riding was "Can I ride the motorcycle now?"  :)  Maybe next week....
